Pest control software, compared by a field operator.
FieldRoutes is the established pest-control-specific platform (now part of the ServiceTitan family). LeadRoute is general field-service software with strong recurring-service workflows. This page walks through where each one actually fits.
The honest framing
FieldRoutes is the deepest pest-control-specific operating system - chemical inventory by state, EPA-driven regulatory forms, and pest-specific commercial reports baked in. LeadRoute is field-ops first and crosses verticals: pest control, HVAC, plumbing, electrical, and multi-day install rollouts. Most teams switching from FieldRoutes are looking for lower cost or simpler operations. Most teams switching to LeadRoute want one platform to run multiple service lines.

Why teams pick LeadRoute
Cost
$29-$249/month total vs $100-$200 per user per month at FieldRoutes - LeadRoute is meaningfully cheaper, especially as the crew grows.
Cross-vertical operations
If your shop does pest control plus light HVAC or plumbing, LeadRoute runs it all on one platform with shared dispatch and shared payouts.
Multi-day install / treatment rollouts
When a commercial pest contract needs multi-day work across states, the Convoy Planner handles hotels and trip economics - FieldRoutes wasn't built around that pattern.
Built by a field tech
Every screen comes from someone who ran installs at hundreds of sites - not from a sales-led product team.
No app for techs
Any phone browser works - onboarding new techs takes minutes, not a download-and-train day.
Honest, simple stack
Less feature surface to misconfigure. The trade-off is documented openly on this page.
When FieldRoutes is the better pick
FieldRoutes is the better pick when you run a pure-play pest control business at scale (50+ techs), need pre-built state-by-state EPA and regulatory forms, want deep commercial pest reporting baked in, and have budget for an enterprise vertical platform. The depth of pest-control-specific compliance is real and matters at scale.
Questions, answered
Is LeadRoute a real FieldRoutes alternative for pest control?
For dispatch, recurring service, route density, customer ETA, automated payouts, and field ops - yes. For deep pest-control-specific compliance forms (state-by-state EPA, commercial pest reporting), FieldRoutes still has more pre-built out of the box. LeadRoute uses customizable checklists to cover most of those cases.
How much does LeadRoute cost vs FieldRoutes?
LeadRoute is $29-$249/month total. FieldRoutes is typically quoted around $100-$200 per user per month - so a 5-tech pest control shop pays meaningfully less on LeadRoute.
Can LeadRoute handle recurring pest control contracts?
Yes - quarterly, bimonthly, monthly, and custom-cadence recurring service is a core feature. Set up the program once, LeadRoute auto-generates and routes every stop.
Does LeadRoute have pest-specific reports?
Not pre-built the way FieldRoutes does it. LeadRoute has structured checklists per job type that you configure - flexible, but it is a configure-it-yourself approach versus FieldRoutes' out-of-the-box reports.
What if my shop does pest control plus another trade?
That is where LeadRoute is meaningfully stronger - one platform runs pest, HVAC, plumbing, electrical, or any mix, with shared dispatch and shared payouts. FieldRoutes is pest-focused.
